Interim Order Modifying the Operation of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (Trailer Standards)
Whereas certain provisions of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter U, part 1037 of the Code of Federal Regulations of the United States correspond to certain provisions of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulationsfootnote a;
And whereas certain provisions of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations footnote a are inconsistent with Title 40, chapter I, subchapter U, part 1037 of the Code of Federal Regulations because of the stay of the operation of the provisions that apply to trailers — namely, section 1037.107 of Title 40 of the Code of Federal Regulations, which sets out the emission standards for trailers, and the other provisions of Title 40, chapter I, subchapter U, part 1037 of the Code of Federal Regulations that are set out in the Final Rule of the United States Environmental Protection Agency, published in October 2016 in volume 81 of the Federal Register of the United States, at page 73,478, to the extent that they apply to trailers or trailer manufacturers — that was granted by the United States Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit, on October 27, 2017, in the case of Truck Trailer Manufacturers Association Inc. v. Environmental Protection Agency, et al. (Case No. 16-1430, consolidated with No. 16-1447);
Therefore, the Minister of the Environment, pursuant to subsection 163(1) of the Canadian Environmental Protection Act, 1999footnote b, makes the annexed Interim Order Modifying the Operation of the Heavy-duty Vehicle and Engine Greenhouse Gas Emission Regulations (Trailer Standards).

We continue to search for Canadians who reflect the values that we all embrace: inclusion, honesty, fiscal prudence, and generosity of spirit. Together, we will build a government as diverse as Canada.
We are equally committed to providing a healthy workplace that supports one’s dignity, self-esteem and the ability to work to one’s full potential. With this in mind, all appointees will be expected to take steps to promote and maintain a healthy, respectful and harassment-free work environment.
